Well, there's always the ancient method that teens used to get their hands on alcohol when I was that age: pay someone who's down on their luck for ten minutes of their time.

    That feels kinda gross and exploitative. Because it's not like alcohol. This is something I very well could do myself, but refuse to do on principle, because I don't want to hand over personal data like that. Paying someone else to hand over their data feels gross.
